Nestbitt Inc. ("Nestbitt", "we", "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Nestbitt platform to do the same. This Copyright & DMCA Policy supplements the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy.
We operate a notice-and-takedown process modeled on Section 512 of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). This process is available to rights holders regardless of where they are located. Where other laws (for example, in Canada, the EU, or the United Kingdom) impose equivalent notice-and-action or notice-and-notice obligations, we honor properly submitted requests under those regimes as well.
Our respect for intellectual property
We will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. It is our policy to remove or disable access to material we are notified is infringing, to notify the user who provided that material, to provide a counter-notice mechanism, and, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
Because Nestbitt produces AI-generated audio and media, please review the AI Disclosure & Synthetic Media Statement for important context on the ownership and originality of generated outputs before filing a complaint.
How to submit a takedown notice
If you believe material on Nestbitt infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent (below). To be effective under DMCA Section 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — including the URL, generation ID, or other specific location on the platform.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You can also use our public form at Submit a Copyright Notice, which collects the same information. Incomplete notices may delay or prevent action.
Designated Copyright Agent
Notices of claimed infringement should be directed to our Designated Copyright Agent:
- Agent
- Nestbitt Copyright Agent
- Attention
- Attn: Copyright Agent, Legal Department
- dmca@nestbitt.com
- Mailing address
- Nestbitt Inc., Attn: Copyright Agent, Suite C, 16644 - 71 St, Edmonton, AB. T5Z 0N5, Canada
Designated agent for all copyright notices
Please send copyright matters to the agent above rather than to general support, so they are routed and logged correctly. The agent's email, dmca@nestbitt.com, is monitored for both notices and counter-notices.
Counter-notice procedure
If your material was removed or disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under DMCA Section 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
- Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the original complainant and inform them that we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days. We may restore the material within that window unless the complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
Repeat-infringer policy
We maintain a strike-based repeat-infringer policy. Users who are the subject of repeated, valid notices of infringement will have their accounts terminated in appropriate circumstances. We may, in our discretion, terminate sooner for egregious or willful infringement.
- Each valid, uncontested notice that results in removal of a user's material is recorded as a strike against that user's account.
- Accumulating repeated strikes leads to escalating action, up to and including permanent termination of the account and forfeiture of associated access.
- Strikes successfully resolved by a valid counter-notice or by withdrawal of the complaint may be disregarded.
- We may also disable or remove content, restrict features, or suspend accounts pending review.
The enforcement ladder and appeals are described in the Trust & Safety Policy, and termination rights are set out in the Terms of Service.
Misrepresentation liability
Section 512(f) — penalties for false statements
Under DMCA Section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its authorized licensee, or us. Do not submit a notice or counter-notice unless you have a good-faith basis to do so.
Trademark complaints
Complaints about trademark infringement, impersonation, or brand misuse are not handled through the copyright process. Send trademark complaints to legal@nestbitt.com with the registration details, the allegedly infringing material and its location, and a description of the harm.
Requests under other applicable law
Rights holders outside the United States may use the same channel. We honor properly substantiated notice-and-action and notice-and-notice requests under the applicable laws of other jurisdictions, including Canadian copyright law, the EU Digital Services Act, and comparable regimes. Our review and any resulting action remain consistent with our obligations and the principles described in this policy.
For general questions about this policy, contact legal@nestbitt.com. Nestbitt Inc. is located at Suite C, 16644 - 71 St, Edmonton, AB. T5Z 0N5, Canada, and this policy is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.
